Office chairs and sushi.

Interesting thought, but I wouldn’t say these are dependent on each other at all.

One of many things that will happen when you try to regulate esoteric concepts like “AI”. It all goes dark on you, but it still happens regardless and benefits the few instead of the many.

Most interested in HDR. Game was super washed out and it was so distracting I stopped playing. Did it improve?

I thought I heard they were doing Project Hail Mary.

Edit: Yep, Ryan Gosling, directed by Lord & Miller.

So Populous.

Your argument is tired. Have you ever simply prompted a generative txt2img and told it to make 100 or even 200 in the batch? You might have 1 or 2 that shine and are interesting without any touch up. But almost every one will require inpainting, photoshop work, or other creative modifications to be worth a damn. And even then some won’t be.

Like I said in my comment. It will be banal without real creativity. It doesn’t even take millions of “paintings” to get there. No one will care about cheaply manufactured junk after the novelty wears off. We will demand more than that.

Ultimately it will be a tool that extends all our creativity. It already is. But if we fear it because of arguments like yours then laws will be made to keep it out of the hands of the common plebe. But it won’t disappear. You can bet your ass it won’t. It will just be used in dark places by powerful people, and not just for banal image prompting. And then you can fear it rightfully.

Just imagine that one person in Europe about 30,000 years ago who found himself stuck in some hole in the ground, alone and broken, finally dying of thirst and infection, who left behind four kids and his bonded life partner. They didn’t know where he went, and in only a season she had paired with another mate in the clan. Within four years anything said about this man had wilted to almost never, and forget about anything having been written down or logged in any way.

Forgotten to time.

It didn’t take long then. Might take longer now. But time will still forget us all. Make your mark while you’re around, because after that no one will give a shit.

Qantas. Qantas never crashed.

Then the errant gamma ray burst sneaks in for the kill.

These warnings and fears would be a little easier to hear if they weren’t pushed so hard by the most disingenuous people ever. Sounds like they want everyone else to pause so they can get ahead.

Agreed, hiding it was a terrible idea and should be punished.
